The 2012-2013 American Legion Consolidated Post Report (CPR) forms have been mailed to department headquarters for distribution to posts. Consolidated Post Reports are used to assist departments in the documentation of activities that a specific post completed during the 12-month (June 1 through May 31) reporting period. See the 2011-2012 CPR results here[2].

Posts can fill out and submit CPR forms online at mylegion.org; the forms are located under "Post and Department" options. After completing the form online, click the "submit" button to send the report to National Headquarters; a copy will automatically be sent to your department headquarters. Online submission will be available at myLegion.org through July 1.

The CPR form also can be download here[3]. When choosing to submit the paper form, send the original and one copy to your department headquarters by the date they specify; keep the third copy for post records.

Meanwhile, American Legion National Commander James E. Koutz has instituted the following recognition to department leadership in effort to increase participation in filling out CPRs:

Plaque at National Convention for 95 percent to 100 percent reporting.

Certificates mailed for those that are over 75 percent reporting and show an increase in their response rate from 2012.

Publish Department Commander's picture in The American Legion Dispatch for those in the 100 percent Club and 95 to 99 percent Club.
